Only complaints were the bed was small and not very comfortable, no space for toiletries, and curtains let in a lot of light from the street. Room was clean, modern, and quiet. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location, room clean and spacious ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### SARAH 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was an extremely comfortable, well organised hotel. Loved the bunk room. Pity it didn't have a lift! :D Was a little complicated signing in but a very helpful receptionist helped. Well positioned in town. ##### SARAH Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location, check-in went smoothly but curtains let in some light pollution. ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan 15 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The accommodation was great, really comfy beds, large rooms, modern bathroom. Self Check in strictly from 3pm, but once you sort that you're all good. Location is great, especially if you're coming from the train ##### Jordan Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elvira 20 May 2024 Convenient location ##### Elvira Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryana 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location was ideal, super easier check in. Wish they offered early luggage storage ##### Bryana Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Katharine 15 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect central city location, right next to the cathedral and train station. Modern room, clean, comfortable beds, kettle and small fridge, modern bathroom and WiFi. No manned reception, but very responsive via email when we had a query. 5 flights of stairs to our room, so do be aware! Would recommend. Only small problem was shower pressure/temperature was intermittent at times. ##### Katharine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irind 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Convenient location next to train stop. Helpful staff. Clean and quiet rooms. ##### Irind Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mo 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really like the location of this hotel, it's 5 mins walk from the train station and the massive Cologne Cathedral, there are a lot of shops and restaurants near by, I never had to interact with anyone, just using my code to get inside.... highly recommend this for anyone. ##### Mo Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The check in was not the best. Self check in but they didn’t have paper to print my access code. Got let in but took an hour for the person to bring my code so I couldn’t leave my room as I would not have been able to get back in. Otherwise fine and very central ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David 4 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Good location Need more clear instructions for check in, as it’s done using a terminal. The hotel is clean and good facilities, the shower in our room was very small and a struggle to get in and out ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 16 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Personally would not stay here again. Check in process was horrible, there were ants all over the bathroom and the railing for the top bunk was completely broken. Good things about the stay is it’s in a prime location and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haddy 25 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The environment and the cleanliness ##### Haddy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Justin 13 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The automated check-in needed a bit of guesswork. Got my code after two attempts but when I tried to use it, it wasn't clear that I needed to press the "tick" key after entering the number. The basin plug wasn't working so I had to use my own. Room was a bit cramped and wakward to move around in. Otherwise a pleasant stopover, at the end of a day's journey by rail from London. Hotel was easy to find, clean, well equipped and beautifully renovated. ##### Justin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Magdalena 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities In theory it was great, my friend and I were only there to go to a concert and were taking the train back home at 6:45 the next morning. The location and simplicity of the hotel were greatly appreciated. But the only thing that I have to complain about was the smell of our room. It had a very strong smell, particularly in the bathroom. Other than that, the stay was great and getting to the train station quickly was also a benefit! ##### Magdalena Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daniel 22 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Fine for one night but very bright It was somewhat difficult to check in though not a huge deal. The issue was a “two person bunk bed” was actually just a double bed where me and my friend did not plan on sleeping in the same bed. Maybe I misunderstood what bunk bed means. The other big issue is the room faced the busy Main Street which is fine and happens but there was a VERY bright light shining in with nothing close to resembling a curtain that stopped much light. It was very bright in the room. Room was very clean, great bathroom and great location central to the train station but at least for that room a better curtain is needed ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/84A4588650C9C738FB906CAA2926EBBABABACA7A1719082833935.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Howard 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The beds are 2m long and the bottom one is closed on both ends. If you're tall (I'm 190cm, 6'3"), you can't really stretch out. It's not as restricted on the upper bed if you let you feet hang off the end. The shower doesn't have anywhere to put your soap or other supplies. The supplied body wash and shampoo bottles are clearly meant to be hung from the wall, but there is no place to hang them. The only place to put them is on the floor. Automated check-in was simple and quick. ##### Howard Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tomas 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### Good location, bad service! Uncomfortable bed, self-check-in with no help, especially when a problem arose, such as the system being down when we arrived for check-in, with a large crowd trying to check in and no one to help. It took us over two hours past check-in time to get in. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED! ##### Tomas Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Inna 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service . ##### Inna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wassem 24 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 👍👍 ##### Wassem Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Cologne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Cologne.h11863.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Düsseldorf Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-DUSSELDORF-AIRPORT.h83390091.Hotel-Information) > > [Steigenberger Icon Parkhotel Düsseldorf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Steigenberger-Parkhotel-Dusseldorf.h25697.Hotel-Information) > > [Das Carls Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Das-Carls-Hotel.h525884.Hotel-Information) > > [Garner Hotel Essen - Handelshof by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essen-Hotels-Garner-Hotel-Essen-Handelshof-By-IHG.h15835626.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Köln Mediapark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-NH-Collection-Koln-Mediapark.h2540882.Hotel-Information) > > [Jugendherberge Köln-Deutz City- Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Jugendherberge-Koln-Deutz-City-Hostel.h4478510.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Favor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Hotel-Favor.h6648760.Hotel-Information) > > [Meliá Düsseldorf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Melia-Dusseldorf.h2322303.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Hotel Köln Messe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Ibis-Koln-Messe.h975002.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Cologne-Bonn Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Moxy-Cologne-Bonn-Airport.h65510798.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hotel Köln City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Koln-City-West.h805820.Hotel-Information) > > [AMERON Köln Hotel Regent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-AMERON-Koln-Hotel-Regent.h6336.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulip Inn Düsseldorf Arena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Tulip-Inn-Dusseldorf-Arena.h1577416.Hotel-Information) > > [Suite Bizarre SM-Fetish Apartment Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essen-Hotels-Suite-Bizarre-SM-Fetish-Apartment-Apartment.h48818202.Hotel-Information) > > [Max Brown Hotel Midtown, part of Sircle Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Max-Brown-Midtown.h34841.Hotel-Information) > > [25hours Hotel Das Tour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-25Hours-Hotel-Duesseldorf-Das-Tour.h20866877.Hotel-Information) > > [The Deutz, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-The-Deutz.h889529.Hotel-Information) > > [Steigenberger Hotel Köln](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Steigenberger-Hotel-Koln.h19314.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Dusseldorf Seestern by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Hotel-Dusseldorf-Seestern.h525135.Hotel-Information) > > [Prize by Radisson, Münster City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Munster-Hotels-Prizeotel-Munster-City.h78281292.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Köln](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Leonardo-Hotel-Koln.h526101.Hotel-Information) > > [Ruby Ella Hotel Cologne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Ruby-Ella-Hotel-Cologne.h60538432.Hotel-Information) > > [Prize by Radisson, Bonn City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bonn-Hotels-Prizeotel-Bonn-City.h66862051.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Cologne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h898402.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Düsseldorf City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-NH-Dusseldorf-City.h9241.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Düsseldorf Königsallee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-NH-Dusseldorf-Konigsallee.h21778.Hotel-Information) > > [Premier Inn Köln City Mediapark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-AZIMUT-Hotel-Cologne.h2131012.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments an der Kö](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Apartment-Hotel-An-Der-Ko.h92832861.Hotel-Information) ---
